DDS texture issues

September 4, 2017, 3:35 am

I'm trying to get the textures from a Smash 4 Wii U mod that's available on GameBanana. They are in a .NUT file which I've not had trouble extracting from before. But this one won't produce any files that are useful, all the DDS files I get are not able to be opened in Paint.NET, most converters to PNG crash with them and when I finally found one that converted them, it just resulted in pixellated garbage PNG files, like so:

If the actual DDS files are needed to figure out the issue, let me know but I'm at a loss.

HELLO EVERYONE Big Grin

first off, lets start by introducing myself:

Me in a nutshell: dumb guy who likes browsing the internet just to see it's pure madness, and also calculating how many flame wars appear in it everyday.

I like to:

misunderstand easily understandable subjects.
make humor that isn't actually funny.
make forum posts detailed for no actual reason.
fully learn something and then forget it the next day to make room for hype in new video games. yeah I do that. *not really.
make useless excuses to escape punishment. look out for this one, staff
and finally, LOSE MY DEETA *hey is the protogent meme still alive? no? ok.

and *[insert a bunch of useless dramatic sound effects]*

ACT LIKE A 5 YEAR OLD! no really, I act like a 5 year old. I'm tottaly not one.

what are you looking at? I'm not pretending I'm older. that's THE TRUTH I'm actually 5 years old.

uh, yeah, sorry for awkward first post.

so are you going to welcome me now?

≪ Previous: Hello, world!

I'm new to the forums but I'v been using The VG Resource for years now and appreciate what the community provides.

I'm looking to have some sound files ripped directly from a PS3 and/or Wii game. I'm hoping that they can be converted into a format I can playback and edit easily.

I'm willing to compensate someone for their time though I do ask that they be discrete as this is for a project I'm not ready to be public about yet.

Please feel free to message me for details. Pay is negotiable.

(Also, if this sort of thing is not okay to post here I really do apologize and will understand if it needs to be taken down)

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this

However I was wondering
How safe is Ninja ripper to use?
I currently have a mobile game I wanna get models from (more on that is in another thread).
Since Im not sure ill be able to rip the models right from the games files like I want
I was considering Ninjaripper
(I play the mobile game on a PC with an emulator)

Now is where I have questions
My computer is rather new
Im not trying to install any programs that arent safe
I downloaded Ninja ripper and my antivirus immediately listed it as an infected or dangerous file

Is this a false flag? Ive seen people go on about how good ninjaripper is..
is it safe to download?

Thanks, any feedback is helpful

I was kind of surprised there was really never any progress on finding out how to rip models from this game with a method more feasible than screen capture ripping. I was hoping someone could help find a more effective and efficient way, be it via script or tool...

Help ripping personal Spartan model from Halo 4

≪ Previous: Extracting 3DS ROM Contents for Help

Just like the subject says, I'm trying to rip my spartan character (the guy in my avatar) from Halo 4 on my Xbox 360, so i can rig his model in blender and use him for stuff. Unfortuantely, I have not found a single guide or video about doing so. There were a bunch about ripping from 2 and 3, but none about Halo 4, and especially none about ripping specific spartans out of the game, like your own Spartan IV. Closest on here i could find was a guy saying the models can be ripped about 2 years ago.

If anybody here has any idea how to do this, that would be much appreciated.

Hi! I'm trying to extract the models from the Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion xl for the Wii. Mainly Toiletnator since I didn't see that model on the model resource section of the game. Since is indeed possible to rip these models because someone on here has done it. Could someone help? When I use dolphin to check the properties of the files the models seem to be these .wii format things. I looked everywhere on google but can't find a way around this. Thank you!

Same as title. Although I haven't played it, the menis and the UI design in general of Persona 5 is definitely something you have never seen before in the whole of gaming history. Aside from that, the menu for Final Fantasy X-2 is also memorable.

Hex editing for TVGR purposes

September 6, 2017, 1:37 pm

≫ Next: Hello

≪ Previous: Favourite Video Game menus?

Hi all,

The recent GBA games I'm trying to rip from have been hellish because of the game difficulty. The player is usually dead before I can rip a fraction of the enemy sprites, and it is taking hours just to get 5 frames. I need to find a way to modify the player HP stat, which I take it requires editing hex values.

I've been attempting this since April and I've made no progress at all. I need an emulator that both supports GBA games and allows editing of hex values, or just any ideas/advice on how to go about this? It is going to be impossible to gather the sprites otherwise.

I can't find any references or documentation about this at all, which seems absurd. I can't be the only person who has wanted to edit values in a GBA game.

Models Resource Policy Update

≪ Previous: Is it possible to rip sprites from 2d Sony ZN-1 games?

In recent issues, the Models queue has been backed up a lot recently, and to aid in that, we're implementing a new plan in light of models that are rejected that have been sitting in the queue for months.

For any models that have been submitted and have been waiting in the queue for at least four months upon rejected will be allowed to immediately be re-checked upon following the process laid out below to have this permission granted:

Once you've re-submitted the model, reply to the rejection PM you had originally received for that submission, notifying the person that rejected it that you had re-uploaded it, and state what you have done to fix your submission. It is unfair to those who have been waiting for months to have their models rejected for something so simplistic, and have to wait another few months to fix it. As well, this saves the model checkers a little time by being able to reject it for the smaller reason as supposed to being required to fix it ourselves and not notifying you of those fixes.
Important!!!: Once your submissions has been checked again after it was rejected from the queue from it's re-check, it will not be checked until submissions from months before it/other non-rechecked models are checked again!

If you have any further questions, feel free to PM a staff member. They'd be glad to help!

I know there's a video, but it's very difficult for me to use video tutorials effectively if at all (for many reasons) and I honestly find most of them deeply obnoxious even if they contain useful information.

Is there any sort of non-video guide for the basics of ripping sprites from GBA games (specifically Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis, if that affects anything)? I would really like to just have some text and maybe the occasional screenshot to read.
